In the classic marriage vow （誓约）， couples promise to stay together in sickness and in health． But a new study finds that the risk of divorce among older couples rises when the wife- not the husband -becomes seriously ill． "Married women diagnosed with a serious health condition may find themselves struggling with the impact of their disease while also experiencing the stress of divorce， " said researcher Amelia Karraker． Karraker and co-author Kenzie Latham analyzed 20 years of data on 2， 717 marriages from a study conducted by Indiana University since 1992． At the time of the first interview， at least one of the partners was over the age of 50． The researchers examined how the onset （发生） of four serious physical illnesses affected marriages． They found that， overall， 31% of marriages ended in divorce over the period studied． The incidence of new chronic （ 慢性的） illness onset increased over time as well， with more husbands than wives developing serious health problems． "We found that women are doubly vulnerable to marital break-up in the face of illness，" Karraker said， "They're more likely to be widowed， and if they're the ones who become ill， they're more likely to get divorced． While the study didn't assess why divorce is more likely when wives but not husbands become seriously ill． Karraker offers a few possible reasons． "Gender norms and social expectations about caregiving may make it more difficult for men to provide care to sick spouses（配偶），" Karraker said． "And because of the imbalance in marriage markets， especially in older ages， divorced men have more choices among prospective partners than divorced women．" Given the increasing concern about health care costs for the aging population， Karraker believes policymakers should be aware of the relationship between disease and risk of divorce． "Offering support services to spouses caring for their other halves may reduce marital stress and prevent divorce at older ages．" she said． "But it's also important to recognize that the pressure to divorce may be health-related and that sick ex-wives may need additional care and services to prevent worsening health and increased health costs．"（1）What can we learn about marriage vows from the passage？ ____ A． They may not guarantee a lasting marriage．B．They are not taken seriously any more．C．They are as binding as they used to be．D． They may help couples tide over hard times．（2）What did Karraker and co-author Kenzie Latham find about elderly husbands？ ____ A． They are generally not good at taking care of themselves．B． They can become increasingly vulnerable to serious illnesses．C． They can develop different kinds of illnesses just like their wives．D． They are more likely to contract serious illnesses than their wives．（3）Why is it more difficult for men to take care of their sick spouses according to Karraker？ ____ A． They are more accustomed to receiving care．B． They find it more important to make money for the family．C． They think it more urgent to fulfill their social obligations．D． They expect society to do more of the job．（4）What does Karraker think is also important？ ____ A． Reducing marital stress on wives．B． Stabilizing old couples' relations．C． Providing extra care for divorced women．D． Making men pay for their wives' health costs．

(外研社沸腾英语)按能力分班是否好？ We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming pupils(把学生按能力分班). It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright children. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade. Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed- ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning. In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: This gives them the opportunity to learn to cooperate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as how to think, to make decisions, to analyse and evaluate (评价), and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher. Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work—it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.1. In the text the author’s attitude towards “mixed-ability teaching” is _____.A: criticalB: questioningC: approvingD: objective2. By “held back” in Paragraph 1 the writer means _____.A: made to remain in the same classB: to study in the lower classC: drawn to their studiesD: prevented from advancing3. The author argues that a teacher's chief concern should be the development of the student’s _____.A: personal qualities and social skillsB: total personalityC: learning ability and communicative skillsD: intellectual ability4. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 3?A: Group work gives pupils the opportunity to learn to work together with others.B: Pupils also learn to develop their reasoning abilities.C: Group work provides pupils with the opportunity to learn to be capable organizers.D: Pupils also learn how to participate in teaching activities.5. The writer’s purpose in writing this passage is to _____.A: argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same classB: recommend pair work and group work for classroom activitiesC: offer advice on the proper use of the libraryD: emphasize the importance of appropriate formal classroom teaching

Most children with healthy appetites are ready to eat almost anything that is offered them and a child rarely dislikes food (51) it is badly cooked. The way a meal is cooked and served is most important and an (52) served meal will often improve a child’s appetite.

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.

Americans experience more food recalls (召回) today than they did five years ago, especially when it comes to meat and poultry (家禽). Meat and poultry recalls increased by two-thirds from 2013 to 2018, while food recalls overall went up 10%, according to the report recently published by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group.Meanwhile, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates (估计) 48 million people get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die from food-borne disease each year in the U.S. "We are looking for the farm-to-fork preventative solutions," said Adam Garber, the research group's consumer watchdog. "By doing that, we can protect people's health."Over the five-year period, poultry posted the most recalls (168), followed by beef (137) and pork (128). The report shows the most serious meat recalls are on the rise. Among meat and poultry, the number of Class I recalls has increased by 83%, nearly doubling. Class I, the most serious of the recalls, is issued when there is a reasonable probability that the food will cause health problems or death.53. When would Class I recalls be issued?A. When the food is likely to cause health problems or death.B. When there are too many complaints from customers.C. When the food problem lasts for five years.D. When the product quality is below standard.
